A Taiwan visa is a
stamp or endorsement placed by officials of Taiwan on
a passport that allows the bearer to visit Taiwan.
Visas are obtained from the Embassy or consulates of Taiwan
for your visit. "Visit" is further defined as the reason
for entry, usually business, tourist or transitory. There
are over 270 countries that offer visas and literally thousands
of different types of visas available based upon country, type
of visit, and length of visit.

A passport is an official government document that certifies
one's identity and citizenship. The passport serves two
purposes; to regain entry to the country of citizenship (i.e.
the United States) and is a requirement by many countries to
gain entry to the country you are visiting.

A Taiwan visa is an official government document that
temporarily authorizes you to be in the country. Many countries
require a visa to gain entry. A visa is in the
form of a stamp/sticker IN the passport and is obtained from an
Embassy in Washington DC or consulates around the country. Taiwan does not require a visa
for tourist or business purposes for United States citizens. You
will require a US passport with at least 6 months of validity left. We

to travel to Taiwan, whether for business or tourism
for short-term stays; however, you will need a US Passport.
